Two gamblers were playing the cards in their hands in the casino, these two gamblers were obviously the latter, for whom the value of money was no longer very important, but they occasionally needed to relax like this, after all, they had just finished their most important work. Occasionally, you also need to take a break.

"You already knew that His Highness was doing something on the ballot, right?" Lin Hou said angrily: "You didn't tell me, do you know how anxious I was at that time?"

"Didn't I always remind you not to rush?"

"Did you mean to?"

"After all, so many people are staring at you, if you are too calm, it is not good, if the eldest prince did not let their people vote for His Highness in the end that day, even if he used fake votes, it is really impossible to tell who wins and who loses, after all, in the end, His Highness only has the advantage of a thousand votes. ”

"Speaking of which, will our fake votes be disposed of? won't there be any traces?" Lin Hou said: "I've always wanted to get those ballot boxes, but after that, I directly asked the eldest prince to order the court mage to carefully watch and study, I really can't find a chance to do it, and I won't leave any clues, right?"

"Don't worry, the magic they use is temporary, and once the time is up, the magic on it will automatically disappear, and the ballot will become like a blank piece of paper. Fei Ying couldn't help but praise: "In terms of magic, humans are still too inferior to elves, and court magicians should already be regarded as the most outstanding magicians among humans." But it's still a little worse than the elves. ”

"Then I'm relieved. Lin Hou played his cards on the side: "But how can I think that after this election, people's opinion of His Highness has changed really much, do you know how many people opposed His Highness when it was just elected, and now there are more and more people who support His Highness." ”

"Isn't this what we expected?" Fei Ying said: "After all, these ordinary people, there are not many people who are really assertive, and they are not all the same, in the final analysis, the biggest effect of this election is to give them a very strong hint in their hearts, and there are more people who support His Highness Ling Chen than His Highness Oath." And under this hint in my heart, there will naturally be more people who support His Highness. ”

Lin Hou nodded, he naturally understood the reason, but now he was still a little incredulous, playing the cards, his eyes rolled, and his voice suddenly became serious: "Liao Qian is dead, what's going on?"

"His Highness has been investigating him for a long time, although he will not harm His Highness, but the person who is truly loyal is indeed the king!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Fei Ying lowered her voice: "After the election, the king does not seem to have given His Highness what he wanted. ”

Lin Hou's face began to look ugly: "Not long after His Highness won, his personal guard died, at that time, it was rumored that there were people who opposed His Highness to assassinate His Highness, and Liao Qian blocked the fatal blow for His Highness before he died, I originally thought so, but think about it carefully, now that Thousand Scales and Crimson are under the control of His Highness, there should be no one who has such an ability to kill Liao Cheng." I just felt that something was wrong...... Could it really be His Highness's hand? But why?"

"Don't you know Your Highness, it seems that there was a big difference between His Highness and the king that day, and their father and son!"

Lin Hou's face turned a little pale: "Do you want to tell me that next, our enemy will be the most powerful person in this country, right?"

"Since His Highness has already made a move against Liao, it seems that he has already decided. Fei Ying also said a little helplessly: "Moreover, I can tell you that there is another bad news, it should not be long before it reaches our Snow City!"

Early in the morning, Ling Chen entered the palace early, he knew from a very young age that if the meeting was not arranged in advance, then Cao Le liked to start dealing with the important affairs of the state in the early morning, and at this time his mind was the most sober and decisive and very decisive. And once it starts, it will last until noon, and during this period, Cao Le will never meet anyone, unless there is a major matter involving life and death.

Therefore, Ling Chen came very early, and he dared to deal with state affairs before the king.

Naturally, no one would stop him, and the place where he was received was still the king's study as always, and Cao Le was actually eating breakfast.

"Ling Chen, why are you here. Cao Le was still a little surprised, with his understanding of his son, Ling Chen had already said it so thoroughly that day, I am afraid that this son would not even enter the palace after that, but why did he come again in such a short time?

"Your Majesty, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, I don't know why I'm competing with you, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to appreciate your face?"

The king put down his knife and fork and said to the guards beside him, "Go and prepare!"

The father and son sat on both sides of the chessboard and looked at each other, and Cao Le said with some curiosity: "Why did you think of playing chess with me today?"

"Recently, the imperial capital has settled down a bit, and I have more time to hone my chess skills, and I feel that I have improved, so I want to learn from His Majesty. ”

"I know that your poker skills should be better than your chess skills, right?"

"His Majesty has taught us since we were young that we must develop our abilities in an all-round way, so I have studied chess skills and card skills. There are people who test their card skills, and I think it is most appropriate for your Majesty to test your chess skills. ”

"You go first!" Cao Le looked at the chessboard: "You are my son, you will make the first move." ”

Ling Chen nodded: "But father, you let me take the lead so easily, won't it be too big?"

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the more advantages and disadvantages, it is not something that can be decided by the first hand and then the hand. It's all up to me!!"

Ling Chen didn't smile and started to play chess, and after a few rounds of competition, Cao Le gradually frowned: "I haven't played chess with you for a long time, I can't imagine that your chess style has changed so much." ”

"Does Your Majesty feel any changes?"

"In the past, your chess style was evasive everywhere, even if you pursued victory, but the general secretary covered your edge, but your current chess style, every move is full of killing intent, as if you will do anything to win. ”

"I really don't know, how much is shown in a game of chess, a simple game of chess, will Your Majesty think too much?"

"It seems that you haven't given up on competing with your eldest brother for the throne!!"

Ling Chen shook his head: "Since Your Majesty has already explained that you will not give me the throne, then why do I still have to rob with Oath?"

Cao Le frowned: "It's naturally best for you to think like this, after all, brothers cannibalize, in my generation, it's too tragic, and I don't want your brothers to fight to the death for the throne like us." You are very sensible, and I will be very happy if I can assist your eldest brother well in the future. ”

"Your Majesty, aren't we playing chess?" Ling Chen didn't look at Cao Le, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard: "Actually, in my opinion, this game of chess is far simpler than playing cards. ”

"What do you say?"

"Solitaire, not only do you have to think about how to get the most out of your hand, but you also have to think about whether your opponent will have a more terrifying hand, even if you take every step of the way, it is difficult to defend yourself against being surprised by the enemy. ”

"I haven't touched this thing in a long time. ”

"Therefore, we often think about playing solitaire because we have established our own victory long before the opening, changed the opponent's deck, and secretly changed our hands. However, the real master game, in the final analysis, is still more than who is better at drawing thousands and who is more clever. ”

"It seems that the game of solitaire, I really underestimated it. Cao Le nodded silently.

Ling Chen continued: "In contrast, in chess, the rules have already been set, and all that needs to be done is to checkmate the opponent's king one step earlier. Even if one side has the advantage to fight again, if the king dies, no matter how big the advantage is, it will be in vain. So I'm thinking, the so-called honing of chess skills is just exploring the easiest way to kill the opponent's king, right?" Ling Chen said as he walked down the chess pieces in his hand: "General!"

Cao Le frowned: "I should have taught you when I was very young, knights don't have such a way of moving. You're a foul. ”

"Your Majesty just said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, on this chessboard, I am the king, and these chess pieces are my generals, isn't it up to me to decide how they act? Then why be bound by this boring rule? On the real battlefield, the enemy will not give you such a long time to think about tactics every turn. ”

"But the game works because both sides are under the rules of consent. ”

Ling Chen looked at Cao Le: "But Your Majesty, you didn't give me the same rules as Oath, so I can only create my own rules!"

Cao Le's face changed, looking at the chess game in his hand, he was a little flustered after a long time.

At this time, Ling Chen didn't give him time to think: "I said that on the real battlefield, the enemy won't give you much time to think. Saying that, Ling Chen raised the banner in his hand and trampled Cao Le's king over: "Isn't the ultimate goal to kill the other party's king?"

"Report !!" At this time, a guard ran in anxiously: "Your Majesty...... Big things are not good, the eldest prince was assassinated in the city of Gothje...... Dead!!"
